President B. Young said to J. C. Little I wish you would see
& see if their is any Law whareby I can Handle
Judje for He has trampelled over all Law of this
& walked over the of this Territory & all their Enactments
& if their is any Law that I can get hold of I want to send
for him & Judg him up. He has said there was no Marriage
in this Territory that was Legal whether a man had one wife
or more. And that we had no right to collect a tax for the
improvement ofn the soil of this Territory, & I want to write
him a Letter to inform him that the Law requires me to
take his cause in hand
read the peace in
on the Murder of & expulsion of that people
President Young said I have got a Letter from Elder
. He officiated as clerk in Drummonds Court &
wrote things there day after Day against God our religion & the
people for a few dimes. He ought to be cut off from the
Quorum &of the Twelve & the Church. He is no more fit to stand
at the Head of the Quorum of the Twelve than a dog. His soul is
entirely occupied with a few dimes & it is much more in his
eyes than God Heaven & Eternal Life. He is a stink in my
norstrels
